Thanks from Albert and a Birthday Approaching


I used my Tombow pens and water on wc paper to do this little guy. Distressed the edges with a metal ruler. Made holes in the Basic Grey paper with my paper drill. Frayed the twine around the button brad. Thanks for looking!

OK, so the colors in the photo got a little distorted... you'll have to forgive me. I took this at night and only had one light to shine on it. I did this while I was away in a hotel last week for my hubby's co-worker who had a birthday. I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and then Twinkling H20's to color the image. The holes are punched with my paper drill (love that tool!). Sponged first a yellow and then a brown ink around the edges. Drew the dotted border with an ink pen. Distressed the edges of the blue layer with a metal ruler.
Thanks so much for visiting today!
